This is episode 2,316 of your daily guided meditation.

How are you doing?

Welcome to day four of our series.

This week we are exploring the 80-20 principle. This is a ritual that is very common in Asia.

In fact, it's even emphasized in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine,

where you allow yourself time to reflect, where you also allow life to happen, you allow mistakes to be made, you allow the

the sometimes unreliability of others

even of the world around you.

You may have a plan that goes all wrong because of the

weather for example or whatever it might be traffic was heavy despite the best laid plans. Life happens. So in today's

episode you're going to explore the moodra for the week. This is called the

Apanvaia moodra. This moodra helps you to keep your heart focused on what it is that inspires you to bring you back to why you do what you do. And this can be lost or dissipated all too readily when things

go wrong. So keeping your heart on what matters most is what this particular

mudra is all about. So mudras are ways that you position your hands to stimulate a corresponding region of your brain.

Madras are powerful and I hear from many of you that Madras are one of your favorite techniques.

You can see how you do the Apamvaia moodra right there on your slowdown guide.

Now it's a very easy mooda to do. on your

fingers.

You're very easy Muja to do and I'll go ahead and guide you as you place your fingers.

You simply fold down your index finger, doing this with both hands, to touch the base of your thumb.

Then you're going to touch your thumb to your middle and ring fingers.

Your little finger will be extended outward. This mudra supports your heart health.
